On March 7th, the world table tennis will usher in the first WTT Grand Slam tournament in Singapore, when the top masters from all over the world will gather here, and the national table tennis will also send 12 strong players to participate: men's singles Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin, women's singles Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, Liu Shiwen, men's doubles Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin, women's doubles Wang Manyu / Sun Yingsha, mixed doubles Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha. Therefore, everyone's expectations for this competition can be said to be quite high.
Hugo, Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yunru, Ito Mimachi, Hina Hayata, Du Kaixuan and other athletes in the top 20 in the men's and women's singles rankings are almost all together, waiting for the competition to compete.
However, in recent days, there has been bad news that Germany's Ochalov, who has previously retired due to a foot injury, will continue to miss this Grand Slam, and he said on social media that he has encountered a small setback in the process of recovery, so he needs to rest for a few more weeks. Ocha said that during this time he will recuperate and recover as soon as possible, and strive to return to the field as soon as possible.
German veteran Ochalov is still very good in the hearts of Chinese fans, everyone likes him very much, so fans have sent him blessings, hoping that he can recover from his injuries and look forward to seeing him again on the field.
Born in 1988, Ochalov, the World Cup, the European Games, the European Championships, the European Championships, the European Cup men's singles champion are all pocketed by him, and once occupied the first place in the world ranking, the strength is very strong, Wang Hao, Zhang Jike, Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan and many other national table tennis main players have been defeated under his shooting.
Ocharov, who will turn 34 this year, has accompanied the national table tennis team with his old teammate Bol for several years, and has always been a fierce rival of the national table tennis men's team, and the two have also joined hands to climb the list of Germany's best players in 2021: Ocha is fourth and Bol is sixth. They also finished third with Francesca in Group of the Year.
Neither Ocha nor Pol had ever said anything about retiring, and they wanted to continue to stand on the field and fight, as long as their physical condition allowed. But as we get older, injuries naturally creep in, and Ocha and Bohr are no exception.
Both have been reported in recent times that they have withdrawn from the game due to injury, missed due to injury, and spent a lot of time in a state of recuperation. With the WTT Grand Slam just around the corner, Ochalov can only regret his absence, while his teammate Pol is still in no shape and is looking forward to his performance. Veterans are not easy! We must pay tribute to Ocha, Pol, as well as veterans such as National Table Tennis Ma Long and Xu Xin!
I hope that they can take care of their bodies while playing enthusiastically, and health is the most important thing.
